FengGuoSi ShangYe BuXingJie

What travelers say:

Open the history of Fengguo Temple, we can clearly understand that in Liaokaitai nine years (that is, 1020), the Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, known as Sakyamuni, was reincarnated by the world, and built a royal monastery-Xianxi Temple in the enclave of his mother, Queen Xiao. Xianxi Temple is also the predecessor of Fengguo Temple, and the Jin Dynasty was changed to Dafengguo Temple. The purpose of building Fengguo Temple at that time was to worship Buddha and shelter the family to flourish, and on the other hand to show the national strength. Unfortunately, in Fengguo Temple, it experienced three wars such as the Jinniu Liao War, the Yuanniu War, and the 20-odd bomber attack in 1948. And five major disasters such as the 1290 magnitude 8 earthquake. Fortunately, the main hall of Fengguo Temple - Daxiong Palace still stands, showing the architectural art of the Liao Dynasty. Then our trip to Fengguo Temple starts with the Daxiong Palace. The whole Daxiong Palace is built on a 3-meter-high platform, plus its own 21-meter height, it looks extremely spectacular, with nine meters long and nine meters wide and five meters deep. This huge scale makes Fengguo Temple Daxiong Palace the largest single-story wooden structure in China's ancient construction. It is called the "China's first great palace". The top of the five-ridge single-panel palace represents its highest-grade building and also shows its royal status. Of course, the royal status is not only the appearance of the building, but also the seven Buddhas that are worshipped on the main altar of the temple. These seven Buddhas are rare original Liao Dynasty color plastics in China. From left to right are Jiaye Buddha, Detention of Sun Buddha, Dead Buddha, Vishif Buddha, Vishif Buddha, Kunna Hanni Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha, respectively representing achievement, peace, health, wisdom, wealth, Light and other merit. In addition to the original color plastic, the phenomenon of seven Buddhas standing on the main altar is also rare in China; careful friends will definitely find that Sakyamuni is not in the middle but is subordinate to the leftmost side. This order is also an isolated case in the domestic Buddhist temple. Compared with the solemn Lord Buddha, the Seven Buddhas before the Seven Buddhas were approachable, each of them was about 2 meters tall, with a beautiful figure and a few more secular appearances, and the face looked like a Liao Dynasty folk woman standing at a glance. In short, if you don’t spend a few hours to look at Fengguo Temple Scenic Area, you will definitely miss a lot of exquisite things. In addition to the seven-zun Buddha, the Daxiong Palace building, the waking Bodhisattva and the murals mentioned earlier, like the dragon king murals in the mountains of the Qing Dynasty. The Temple of Heavenly Kings rebuilt in Qing Kangxi in 29 years; the Ming Dynasty inverted Guanyin and video behind the main altar of Daxiong Temple have played a role in adding bricks and mortar to Fengguo Temple's selection for the World Heritage List.
